  7. Hi Tom! I really enjoy your post. This small webservice is very useful for me to quickly find G+ count for single page or small bunch of URLs. It would be (drastically) more useful to know if I could use it (or maybe there is another way) to grab g+ count for a bigger number… let’s say for 50K URLs daily basis.
    I can also divide it to the smaller number but I can’t find if there is any query limit.

  8. is can’t work,all is error message : Access Not Configured. Please use Google Developers Console to activate the API for your project. but i was active g+ services.

    1. Hi Alexander,
      you can create you own Project at https://console.developers.google.com after ca you go to APIs& auth -> Credentials and generat you own API Key.

      Best regrats Aleks
      PS. Sorry for my English 😉

      1. I’ve created my own key but it always gives me a “Access Not Configured” error message when I call the API. I have enabled the Google+ API in the API console.

        The only way I’ve seen this work is by using the AIzaSyCKSbrvQasunBoV16zDH9R33D88CeLr9gQ key (who’s key is that?), r by not using a key. However, not using a key will get you throttled/blocked after you use it too many times.

        Do you have any idea of how I can use my own key?
